NEw ORLEANS, la, Oct 80 The New
York combination opened here today
against the New Orleans champions before
5000 people. Tho weather was disagreea-
bly, cold and unfit for ball playing, but the
game was quite well played, the work Of
the Giants being especially fine. Ewing
pitched fair game, and Kceie was very
effective, few hits being made of him, but
the latter received far better support than
Ewing. The work of New Orleans at times
was ragged, and they only saved a shut-out
in the last inning by streak OF good bat
ting that brought in two runs. Before the
game Powell was presented by Capt.
Ward, on behalf of the management, with
a handsome gold watch and chain. The
two clubs play again tomorrow. Keeic and
Widner will be the pitchers.
